The Draw a Dragon contest

Hey everyone!

Happy September 1st! We are nearly two months away from the release of TALON, and today kicks off the first of many cool events, contests, and giveaways that will happen between now and then. I'm pretty excited, if you can't tell.

So, let's begin with a super awesome contest! And, since TALON is all about dragons, this will be a very dragon-centered contest. Artists, are you ready? Here we go:

1. Draw/sketch/doodle/scribble/color/paint the most awesome (or scary, or cute and fluffy) dragon you can think of. All mediums are accepted. The drawing can on your computer, an easel, a scrap piece of paper, it doesn't matter. It doesn't have to be colored. It doesn't have to be a work of art.

It DOES have to be of a dragon. And it DOES have to be your own original work.

2. Post a pic of your awesome dragon, along with an image of the TALON cover, to your blog, Facebook, twitter, Instagram, wherever. Include a message about the contest and a link to it, as well.

Dragons. Slayers. Destiny. The flames of war begin October 28th.

3. Leave me the link to your post in the comments. Please include your email. :)

Two winners will receive a signed arc of TALON, and a handmade clay dragon in the likeness of their entry.

For example, if you drew something like this:

You might get something like this:

So break out those pens, inks, and colored markers, and go draw some dragons! :D Contest will run until September 22nd. It is open to everyone, and it is international.

"I love books, dragons, and this author, what more can I ask for? Here's hoping I win (fingers-crossed) - I've been trying to get one of Julie Kagawa's clay dragons for awhile, and getting a free book is an amazing plus :)"
